Democrat Donations Dry Up, DNC Requiring NDA's to Hide the Fact

Timothy Birdnow

The Democratic Party is broke and so desperate to hide the fact they are forcing top officials to sign non-disclosure agreements so the public won't find out how bad things are.

According to Western Journalism Axios is reporting this development and it bodes ill for the Democrats' hope of retaking Congress in November.

Scoop: The DNC asked its leadership team to sign NDAs before a recent meeting about the party's finances, sources told us.

The move — a break from past practice for such officers — underscored DNC chair Ken Martin's sensitivity about the party's money woes and the persistent criticism about his leadership.

A DNC national finance co-chair said the push for NDAs "is consistent with standard practice in the corporate world."

Why is funding growing so tight? Partly because the Democrats decided to appeal to young Democratic Socialists, who either have no money or who want other people's money and won't donate. But also the end of USAID and a host of other such organizations laundering money to the DNC has led funding to dry up. Now the Democrats have to compete on a fair playing field and they find they can't do it.

The Democrats have $15 million on hand but is $18 million in debt while the GOP has $125 million and no debt at all. Clearly the Donkeys are floundering.

While the article theorizes Ed Martin, DNC Chair, is doing this to hide how poorly he's performing I think another reason is to hide how poorly the Democrats themselves are performing.Corporate donations and big money donations are not going to come in if the donors think it will just be a waste of money, and an inability to raise money suggests to possible donors it is precisely that.

So Martin wants to hide their collective failure.

The article also mentions the recent Supreme Court decision allowing the parties to coordinate with campaigns. This empowers REPUBLICANS who followe the rules; the Democrats always broke those rules and simpl funneled their money to these campaigns through third parties. Now they are going to have to compete with the GOP.

It's a LONG way from over but we do have them on the run Folks! Now if the Senate would just pass the damned SAVE America Act we can finally show just how bankrupt the Democrats are in all ways and how we've been living in an oligarchy where the Democrats have stolen multiple elections for decades. Now maybe we'll have the actual democracy they claim to support. Democracy requires one man one vote. We haven't had that for twenty years or better.

It's fun watching hem squirm!
